Actually no. This was not an elementary school graduation this was Georgetown. The school should put out a statement entitled brats.

The should not get a permit next year.

I’m tired if the excuses for piss poor behavior.

What permit? No indication that this was an official event.

Ummm, cuz weathly white kids get to play by different rules, face zero consequences and are used to everyone else cleaning up their mess? #privilege. Substitute G'Town students for Howard and tell me this would have been allowed.

Location, location, location.

It doesn’t get much attention of you trash a park in Harrionsburg, Happy Valley, Gainesville, etc. The playground here is the nation’s Capitol, not some town that’s all college and nothing else.

And, yes, they were Georgetown grads. There is video.

Brats.

Huh. What would happen if we did that with other groups?

My aunt moved out of a gorgeous Georgetown townhouse that she had lived in for decades because of the havoc Georgetown students brought upon that neighborhood. Irresponsible, selfish and entitled sums it up well.

I’m a Georgetown alum and agree that the behavior at the Lincoln Memorial is totally unacceptable and that the school should hold the students responsible for this accountable (I like PP’s suggestion), but I’ve never understood people who choose to live in West Georgetown and then complain about the students. The university has been there since 1789, and it’s not surprising that college students are going to act like college students. Not excusing property damage or harrassment or anything like that, but loud/obnoxious behavior at night or on the weekends and drunkenness are to be expected. I wouldn’t live around there now exactly for that reason.
